June showers: Parts of Alberta may see over 100 mm of rain soon

Check the forecast before you head out this weekend, because some parts of Alberta may be swamped with more than 100 millimeters of rain over the next little while.

You read that right, not 10 millimeters, but 100. That’s a good amount of rain coming over the next seven days!

The majority of the heavy rainfall will be settled over parts of northern Alberta, according to The Weather Network, which is good news for firefighters battling blazes in the area.

The rain is set to hit the northern foothills this weekend and again next week, with Edmonton getting a healthy amount as well.

The further south you go in the province the lower the rainfall totals, with Lethbridge and Medicine Hat facing the chance of missing out on any precipitation.
